I remember trying this and I still have the recipe commented out in my 
procmail files:

FROMHEADER=`formail -c -rtz -x To:`
# play sound
# DUMMY=`test -f "${PMDIR}/mailsounds/${FROMHEADER}.wav" \
# && play "${PMDIR}/mailsounds/${FROMHEADER}.wav" > /dev/null &`


I had a directory with sounds:

alan@malander:~$ ls ~/.procmail/mailsounds/
alanclifford\@gmail.com.wav  test2\@clifford.ac.wav  test\@clifford.ac.wav


I don't sit at that computer any more since I got a laptop.
